Legislación para porte y tenencia de armas traumáticas a ciudadanos con actividad comercial.

Abstract

The main objective of the study in question is to promote the reform of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code that authorizes the legalization of carrying and possession of traumatic weapons in Ecuador for the protection and defense of citizens who carry out commercial activities. This is due to the increase in crime and violent incidents that the country is going through, one of the main affected being citizens who own businesses in the country by criminal gangs against the authorities for the benefit of the citizenry. The necessary information such as the composition, effects, advantages and disadvantages of this type of weapon is specified. Finally, with these considerations, a reform to the COIP is proposed where articles 360.1, 360.2 and 360.3 are added, which legalize the possession and carrying of weapons, the authorized persons and the reasons for their use, respectively.
